Altoona Advanced Auto Technician Job Description

What’s it like being an auto technician in Altoona? As an advanced technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care, working on cars will take up most of your day, from performing repairs and test drives to educating non-mechanical clients on mechanical repairs.

Advanced auto technician job responsibilities include fixing cars per manufacturer standards by performing services such as fuel ignition and electrical repairs, as well as inspections and brake checks. Additionally, advanced technicians mentor their less experienced teammates, assisting them with hands-on tasks such as oil changes and battery installations. Most importantly, you’ll help support our brand’s commitment to delivering cars that are fixed right, priced right, right on time.

Required Qualifications for Altoona Advanced Mechanics

Wondering how to make your Altoona advanced auto technician job application stand out? You must have a few years (5 years minimum) of mechanical experience under your belt and proof of completion of a Vocational-Technical program in the automotive field. A valid driver’s license combined with the ability to test drive clients’ cars is a must-have. You should also have good writing, math, reading, and customer service skills. A stand-out applicant also has A.S.E. certifications in at least five of A1-48 (L1 counts toward the five, too). If you’re not, you’ll have up to two years from when you join the team to get adequately certified. If Pennsylvania calls for extra certifications, you can expect to obtain those as well. Lastly, you should be able (and patient enough) to mentor entry-level mechanics and educate non-mechanically-inclined guests about services and car lingo!
